The main difference is not in the OS itself, but in the services around.
/e/ wants to provide a private set of services such as e-mail, files, etc.: https://e.foundation/e-solutions/

China is not a communist country, it's a “communist with Chinese values” country. I don't know what it means, but every time the topic is brought on the table, this is the official stance from the Chinese Communist Party.
I guess it means you owe loyalty to whatever authority you get: father, teacher, employer, emperor. Respect them, or they will crush you.

I've bought an AMD Radeon RX580 on my desktop for gaming, and it's been working great so far with the default open source drivers that come with Ubuntu (18.04 onwards). Didn't have to do anything.

I remember reading this article back when it came out, and it made me think a lot about software licenses.
I encourage everyone here to invest some time to read the different libre and open source licenses out there and decide which one would be the best for the software they produce.
The choice of a software license is important and is a political choice.

Thanks for pointing this out!
I'm currently using a feed reader installed on my web server so that I can access and sync my feeds between all my devices (home computer, work computer and smartphone). I use Firefox on all of my devices. Do you know if there is a way to sync the Brief database on different devices to keep them in sync?

Thanks for the answer!
I've seen this advice before. Keep a streak and practice a little every day.

I didn't know this!
The Blender team is working on Blender 2.8 which will bring a lot of new features, including a lot of UI changes.
There was an article about some of these changes a while ago on their blog [1], and more recently a video showing a lot of these UI changes... available on the Blender Developers Youtube channel (how ironic!) [2].

Not only that, but in China, tech companies are blatantly sexist:

Whooo... that 4kb is amazing! Very dark, very different from the usual technical performances, especially in that category!
Thanks for sharing!

French newspapers Mediapart and Canard PC have teamed up and released a bunch of articles about the video game industry and its toxic practices.
The articles are available online [1] but they're in French and some of them are behind a paywall.
The situation got to the point where a labor union for video games creators, « Le Syndicat des Travailleurs et Travailleuses du Jeu Vidéo » (STJV) [2], was created in France last year. There are currently around 70 members (out of 5000+ video game related employees in France). A strike is currently on-going in Eugen Systems [3], a French studio author of RTS games like Steel Division.

Why not using Firefox?
